Amazing.. I'm yet to see Xiaomi EV model cars in 9ja.
Before the end of May, these 2 cars go don dey new owners house...

that xiaomi, e de get some bad PR at the moment, people are posting videos of the car misbehaving. For now it seems BYD, Xpeng, NIO and the rest are kinging. Xiaomi already have millions of customers to market the car to, whenever they get the engineering well it will still be a sell out.... I have two xiaomi phones, xiaomi smart watch... Two Xiaomi smart TV boxes... Am rooting for them too.

Boss, no be energy matter be this. Others are here to learn from us. Lol

These are typical Cell characteristics based on what you posted on that screenshot.
A standard 100Ah Cell has about 107AH capacity from 2.5V to 3.65V.
Rated capacity is from 3.00V to 3.400V so you have 100AH usable from this range.
I maintained this you can use up to 90% (90AH) of the capacity which means you are cycling within 3.40 V down to about 3.1V range.
Now is this advisable or not?

What some people have are 90AH being sold as 100AH, because it is close to 100Ah from 2.5V to 3.65V
Hence they cant recommend someone doing 90% from the batteries because it will mean they will discharge below 3.0V
Hope readers learnt something, I didn't mean any harm I just recall you build packs grin

You bought a fake Schneider, that place with Schneider name is removable. Try moving it sideways and it'll come out grin. I talked about the fake breaker here.

https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/1346#120371763

I'll advice you look for Chint product to buy. It's around 7k to 16k depends on where you source from.

Thanks......any installer in Abeokuta

This inverter was plugged into AC power without the battery.

Now, it doesn't come up when the battery is connected. Although it lights up the LCD screen, it does not display the battery percentage or other similar information.

Although they will be taking it to the service centre, but I would like to know what could be damaged inside the inverter so I can advise the person accordingly.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Obnoxious2001(m): 8:52pm On May 21
I know many will not agree, but it's safer to buy fairly used breakers if you can't ascertain the quality/source of your breaker.

Thanks for this.

In other word, Don't discharge less than 48v(which is around 9-10% Remaining), and don't exceed 58.4v when it's still charging, lastly don't Exceed 54.4v(100% Charged) when the battery is Resting (Not Charging).

Above is for 48v Battery Pack.

To get similar range for 24v(Divide above values by 2), while for 12v(Divide by 4).

Thanks for sharing

Jinko partners with Deye for ESS Products Extensions, They don't manufacture ESS Products at least not yet, they rebrand them.

I worked with Kougar during Covid19 to install Cisco Telepresence Systems around Abuja. Great guys.

Here's wishing you good luck. It should work, especially when the replacement is from them too.

So I checked on them Monday and explained my situation. But it isn't all good news jàre. Cos of the relationship we've had for a while, they know that my appliances are on solar, so if I complain of a faulty item, they know that it's most likely a factory defect and not due to misuse or NEPA surge. They've replaced for me before FOC a 32 inch TV on warranty within 2 years.

On the AC, they said they can't take it back cos it's been installed already. But they promised to help me get a buyer in no distant time. They said something however that caught my attention. That their AC sales (demands by customers) are mostly Hisense and that before they get to sell one unit LG, they've already cleared like 10 units Hisense ACs.

zeestone99:


It's sad that he got the wrong type of air conditioning unit. I too did not know LG makes different inverter ACs and energy saving is optional in some model.
I have a 1.5hp LG inverter ac that consumes about 400w plus after a while especially at night, I have seen it do 395w thereabout at some point. During the day it ramps up about 900w plus then drops to around 550w plus to 600w thereabout.


OMG! 1.5hp, and it's doing 900w peak. And that my own ńa just 1hp and even though the room is well cooled, I go dey hot for inside as I see am dey chop 1000w from my much coveted battery storage. Aswear, I don seriously miss road on top this one.

But I'm seeing the horizontal light on the AC body signifying that the "gen mode" is ON...So in your case,while the light came on,it didn't actually work?

Cos that's exactly what I had on mine yesterday, immediately I pressed the gen mode on the remote,that horizontal light came on and my inverter was able to carry it well, although the cooling wasn't as chilly...

How many hp is your unit?😁

It's one 1HP. I didn't know the Gen mode indicator comes up anywhere. The manual explicity states that no LCD info on the remote indicates if the Gen mode is on and that some models also may not have it displayed on the indoor unit. I think I'll check again to verify what u said.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Xanderone: 9:41am On May 22

If you use the smart inverter AC 1.5HP.

Try this Hack if it works for you.

Use the Timer function to activate the power saver mode..
It will reduce the power to less than 600w

Set like 20 degrees and use 4 to 7 hours.
Timer is at the bottom.

Okay. I'll try this out. Although it is 1hp sha.

Makes sense since Hisense is considerably cheaper. I bought a 1.5 HP Hisense inverter AC for 340k when LG 1 HP was like 385k

Also, Hisense ACs actually perform really well. LG reputation has taken a hit over the last year as well.

Las las Panasonic na baba.

Good morning o, I’m new to solar systems and would like to build my first one. Gotten some advice from a friend but I’ve been stuck deciding which brand of tubular batteries or solar panels to get as I was told some can be unreliable. Some brands I’ve been shown include super speed and campeon.

Please kindly suggest which brands for batteries and panels are recommended and which I should avoid. If you have an idea of the prices, that will be appreciated

FINAL UPDATE
At long last, I got my battery back yesterday evening. The bms had to be changed and now the battery is currently working as it should. I just hope the issue doesn’t arise again.


Good. Congrats. Perhaps it's BMS that's the issue with the one I also got from him. I'd just find time to open it up and just address it.
